Angry Birds and a Happy Me!!

I never
thought something angry could ever make me happy. But these cute things called angry
birds bring a smile on my face every time I see them.

It was
almost a year ago that the angry voices of these angry creatures, first started
being heard in my house. It was love at first sight for my then four year old
and many versions of the game started appearing on my mobile like magic.

Angry Akshaj with his angry Bird...

Though I
resisted their charm initially, I eventually fell hard. I began to fight with
my son shamelessly for turns to play the game. “Grow up” shouts from my husband
tore through my conscience and I gave up fighting.

Now my house
resembles an angry birds’ showroom, with many angry bird plush toys and
angry-birds-in-real- life game sets. And when an angry- birds-in-real -life
game is being played, more like a battle field.

Angry birds in real life

My son has
become an expert on angry birds and if required he can write a thesis on angry
birds; complete with the sound that each bird makes and their special powers.

He tells me that
the birds are angry because the pigs steal their eggs and prepare scrambled
eggs for breakfast. So Bad piggies indeed!

Now I am
scared that hens might come screaming revenge at me because of the scrambled
eggs and egg biriyanis that I make!! Phew…

Then there was this quote I found at one of the angry- birds-play-online sites.

“Angry birds
are like real life. Every time you fail, there will be pigs laughing at you”

So true!! :) :)

Now we have conquered the pigs in Space, Star wars, Rio, Friends and even Seasons....

I carefully avoid playing these games because once I get addicted to them it'll be hell for me. I was so addicted to Farmville years back that I used to set alarm and get up in the morning just to harvest and plant my plots. :D

Hahaha... so sweet! I am sure you and your son might relate to this post of mine where I celebrated my son's birthday-"Angry Bird Style!" http://homespunaround.blogspot.in/2014/02/awesome-angry-bird-party-with-lots-of.html
